The boy, who was not hurt, was charged with theft of a vehicle, aggravated flight, three counts of damage to property and one count of aggravated assault, police said.

The boy led cops on a chase from Baton Rouge’s Scotlandville section to Central, some 11 miles away, before coming to a stop outside a woman’s home, where he hit a gas line and a tree.

So true

One very lucky person.

Yet another reason why idiots shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Train crash: Driver's struggle with software 'led to collision'

• You have a sudden death situation.
  
• Your only chance for recovery is to remember and act upon at least EIGHT memory items, in sequence, no conferring;
  
• Meanwhile #1: You may feel a reduction in gravity and butterflies in your stomach, and an Arnold Schwarzenegger gut wrenching pull on the controls;
  
• Meanwhile #2: You must flawlessly complete your memory mission, without error or fail, first time successfully, whilst simultaneously suffering: multiple flashing lights; a loud and strong trembling vibration of the control vibrator alarm for going too slowly; and a loud klaxon in your ears for going far too fast indicating the vehicle is breaking apart or is otherwise going deadly awry (all confusingly contradictory and all at the same time);
  
• Meanwhile #3: Other automated emergency announcements will be loudly given to further try to get you to fumble your memory sequence;
  
• Meanwhile #4: You have only miserably few seconds to successfully complete your task;
  
• Meanwhile #5: Up to 210 lives singularly depend upon you for their lives, you only have the one chance;
  
• Good luck and Valhalla awaits you.

Train crash: Driver's struggle with software 'led to collision'

So... What could possibly go wrong at 5mph in a train depo?...

That outage sounds expensive and very much like an all-too-typical "operator error".

That also highlights the importance of clear training (especially for that train) and for testing the driver's competence.

It's good to see that the RAIB, at least, is still doing its job properly.

The driver of the Azuma train had 39 years' experience, but it was only the third time he had operated the model unaccompanied, the RAIB said.

It also said that the train firm failed to recognise the driver, who had only driven trains for two months in the two years before the accident, needed more training than his peers.

For health, personal and operational reasons, he had only driven trains for a period of two months in the two years prior to the accident.

76 The driver was unaware of this new feature because he had not been briefed
by LNER on the introduction of the software update. LNER and Hitachi have an
engineering change process for managing and briefing such changes, which
normally results in briefing updates being provided to drivers. However, in this
instance, it appears that the importance of this information was lost in the vast
array of changes introduced in this particular software update. It is possible
that, if a more thorough description of the change had been included in Hitachi’s
engineering change pack, its relevance would have been more easily identified.
